《徐徐映色》INFRAMINCE作為繪畫之所感─ 黃冠鈞個展
Shimmering in Between | Inframince in Painting－HUANG KUAN CHUN Solo Exhibition
2025/08/16－2025/10/02

本次展覽《徐徐映色》蘊含了黃冠鈞作品的特質：緩慢、柔光、層疊、滲透，以及色彩與空間之間微妙的互映關係，呼應藝術家長期對「滲透、附著、繪畫體」的繪畫象限跨界的探索，精彩呈獻超過30餘件作品。

黃冠鈞的作品中，畫布做為圖像承載的基底被鬆動——顏料從依附的表面中被釋放，轉化為懸浮於空間、具有穿透性與光學反應的「繪畫物質」。這樣的形式轉化不只是技術性的變化，更標誌著觀念與實踐上的根本轉向。

早期黃冠鈞受馬賽爾‧杜象（Marcel Duchamp）所提出的「inframince」概念吸引——一種「比薄還要更薄」的存在狀態。杜象曾說，這個概念無法明確定義，只能透過舉例來接近其意涵；在他的筆記中，也記錄了諸如剛脫下衣物殘留的溫度、煙霧在嘴唇間的殘味、光影掠過玻璃的瞬間等日常觀察。在這些近乎無感的縫隙中，卻藏著極為豐富的感知經驗。

也正是因為「inframince」的啟發，藝術家開始反思現代生活的快速節奏，如何讓我們不知不覺中忽略了許多細膩而值得體會的日常。我們是否還能在一件極其簡單的事物上，專注且真切地感受到喜悅？這看似尋常，卻已成為今日生活中一項艱鉅的課題。

在這次展覽的創作過程中，黃冠鈞不斷於畫面中層層疊加色彩，反覆琢磨與推敲，試圖將色彩安排於「薄、再薄、更薄」的間隙之中。透過光的穿透、反射與折射，使「inframince」不僅作為觀念存在，更成為一種可被視覺閱讀的經驗。希望觀者能在每一次觀看的當下，透過不同空間配置與環境光線的變化，感受到畫面中某種輕盈而不可言喻的存在。

This exhibition embraces the qualities of Huang’s works: slowness, lambency, layers, permeation, and the subtle interweaving of color and space. It reflects his long-term exploration of the expanded dimension of painting—what he defines as penetration, adhesion, and painting ontology. Over 30 works will be featured in this exhibition.

In Huang’s work, the canvas—as the traditional bearer of images—is fundamentally challenged. Paint is no longer confined to a flat surface; it is liberated and transformed into a translucent, light-responsive material that hovers within space. This transformation is not merely a technical shift, but a profound reimagining of the structural and conceptual foundations of painting itself.

One of Huang’s longstanding inspirations comes from Marcel Duchamp’s notion of “inframince”—the state of being “thinner than thin,” something that exists in the barely perceptible intervals between presence and absence. Duchamp once noted that “inframince” cannot be defined, only illustrated—the warmth lingering on clothes just removed, the faint trace of smoke between lips, or the fleeting shimmer of light as it passes through glass. These moments, often too subtle to be noticed, are nonetheless imbued with an abundant sensory resonance.

Inspired by this concept, Huang reflects on the rapid pace of modern life, and how we have unconsciously become desensitized to the subtle pleasures and nuances of daily experience. Can we still find joy in something simple and small? This seemingly modest question has become a difficult one in our times.

Throughout the creation of this exhibition, Huang carefully layered and reworked his paintings, positioning color within intervals of “thin, thinner, much thinner.” Through light’s transmission, reflection, and refraction, the notion of “inframince” exists and is translated into a visual experience. It can be perceived not just through sight, but through space, timing, and atmosphere. The works respond to each environment's layout and lighting conditions, offering a visual elasticity that shifts with time, encouraging viewers to encounter a sensation of “something soft and light” —a presence beyond words.
